About a month or so ago I met fellow photographer Steven Skelton at a mixer at Zack Arias‘s studio. Since meeting we have kept in touch, chatted on Facebook, followed each other’s work, and now have had the chance to shoot together! Steven put together a strobist group in Athens, Georgia (Go Dawgs) and they had their first meeting at the Oneta Building on the outskirts of town. Strobist style shooting just basically means shooting with off camera flash and can give you some really cool effects. Most of these shots were done with my 580EXII flash and a 60 inch umbrella to soften the light.

Thanks so much to my dear friend Renee for joining us as a model……she was a total trooper. She’s probably feeling like she has whiplash from a car crash after we made her flip her hair over about 15 times to get this shot…….

Introducing the fabulous Leann…..

And the crazy Clinton…..

Thanks so much to everyone in Athens that extended such a warm welcome to your group. It was a pleasure shooting with you and I hope to join you again next time! Ciao for now……
